I’m considering some smart scales to keep an eye on body metrics beyond just weight.
Has anyone any experience of a set? There’s loads on amazon and I’m not sure what differentiates the £20 set from the £100 set.

I’ve got big feet and some look quite small - any recommendations?

All I can say is that my Garmin index scale is a random number generator. I went back to a standard scale

Thanks Jonnyboi - I had high hopes for the garmin set 🙁
Might check if dc rainmaker has anything on his site.

Thanks YGH they'll do! I've seen them mentioned somewhere else too so I'll give them a try.

I have a Polar scale - don't get one of those, and I replaced it with a Garmin Index and my experience is much better than jonnyboi's. the reason I changed was the unreliability of the numbers on the polar, the Garmin weighs and measures rather predictably, I find.

New Garmin scales are imminent according to the rumours.

I bought Withings ones 8 years ago and they're still great. Batteries last a year or so.

I'm not sure anyone does particularly accurate body fat % from sending electric current through your feet.

Xaiomi mi scale 2 can be bought for less than £40. App seems pretty informative also.
